The Upside-Down Girl is a background character in the Recess series.

Personality and Appearance

The Upside-Down Girl has no defined personality. However, it has been confirmed that she has become impervious to nausea from the many times she hung from her bar. It is possible that she is violent when angry as seen when she warned T.J. that he'd be sorry if she got off her bar. She’s almost always seen hanging upside down, the only time she is seen right side up is in "The Game" where said game manages to enamor her to that point.

As a result of always hanging upside down, her blonde pigtails always stick up, even on the rare occasion that she is right-side up. She wears a one-piece white outer-garment with short sleeves and pant legs and a pink dress over it with the skirt always stuck up.


  • Upside Down Girl has a counterpart at 98th Street School, who is African American.
  • Her voice actress is Francesca Smith, who also played Ashley B. in the series and Helga Pataki in Nickelodeon's Hey Arnold. The two characters have similar clothes, hair color and hairstyles, and one could also argue violent disposition.
  • She keeps her money and other stuff in her socks, so they don't fall out of her pockets.
